Origin Of Arabian Hookah
Sep 10, 2025| The earliest origin of hookah is 800 years ago in India. Local people use bamboo tubes to insert coconut shells and filter through coconut juice to smoke old Indian black tobacco. This kind of tobacco is very strong. Because of the smoking habits of Indians, the cut tobacco there is also very strong.
Then it became popular in Persia. In the Middle East, especially in Türkiye and Iran during the Ottoman Empire, hookah was once called "dancing princess and snake" because of its unique shape and magical cultural color.
Later, it gradually spread to the Arab royal family (500 years old) and was used as a tool for relaxation by those dignitaries. They have plenty of time and people, so they don't need to operate by themselves. They can arrange the following people to deploy, and they can enjoy their success. As a result, those experts who dispense tobacco have gradually evolved into a profession: tobacco adjusters. This is a bit like a cocktail bartender. At present, they are all highly paid. In this way, hookah life has become a representative of extravagance, corruption, enjoyment and ease of life.
Development of Arab hookah
In July 1798, Napoleon led an army to Egypt and defeated the Turks in the battle of the Pyramids. A few weeks later, he was defeated by the British. After that, Western Europeans came to the Middle East one after another. Some European artists and writers deeply influenced by the Middle East culture have become well-known Oriental scholars. They traveled around Türkiye, Persia, Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa, and brought the Arabian hookah to the European continent. Their modeling also showed some innovation (changed to be composed of glass bottles+metal tubes), which is closer to the aesthetic of contemporary people.
With the development of hookah, a more novel form has been introduced in modeling, and a representative totem symbol has emerged, which shows its ornamental and collection value. At the same time, some new modern art styles have also emerged.
She is not only a cigarette set, but also a beautiful handicraft placed at home.
Water smoke, like alcohol and tea, is irresistible. Now when you walk into many "cool" leisure bars or cafes in Europe and the United States, you will see gorgeous hookah stands on the bar.
In nightclubs in California, Chicago and the southern coast of Miami, hookah lovers can be seen everywhere. In a new hotel of MGM Film Production Company in Las Vegas, the operator provides tourists with Shisha hookah. Compared with ordinary cigarettes, many people prefer hookah, because hookah contains trace nicotine, does not contain tar, and tastes more refreshing and smooth; In bars and cafes across the streets of Berlin, the smell of hookah makes guests feel at home in places other than home; In Paris, France, more than 200 hookah houses, large and small, have been opened. It has become a new leisure fashion for Parisians to smoke hookah in such hookah houses when they are free. After dinner or after work, one or two hours of hookah time can fully relax your nerves, which is the best way for Europeans to enjoy Arab culture.
This ancient thing, which was first introduced by Arab immigrants, has blossomed everywhere in Europe and America.
Arab style of hookah
An Arab novelist described the scene of a smoke pump, saying: "In the midst of clouds and fog, water and smoke, the classic time seems to be going backwards and back to the distant past." Some people say that the inspiration of Najib Mahfouz, an Egyptian literary giant who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, came from the hookah he often visited. Dumas Dumas described this kind of smoking set in detail in his novel The Count of Monte Cristo. Western media commented that the thoughts of Arab intellectuals were contained in their water pipe bottles. It is impossible to verify whether it is due to the elegance and uniqueness of the cigarette set or its unique oriental flavor that the hookah has received such high evaluation.
